I served this to my dinner club last weekend to their great delight. It may seem like a lot of steps, but is actually very simple, and a great make-ahead. This is slightly altered from the original in current issue of Gourmet: theirs was a single layer of each ingredient. Excellent light summery desert!

Directions

This seems like a lot of steps, but its not hard: just repetitious!

Line a 3-1/2 by 7-1/2 inch loaf pan with a layer of plastic wrap.

Stir together wafer crumbs, zest, butter, and corn syrup in small bowl until combined, then carefully press a shallow layer (about 1/4-inch) into the bottom of pan. (If it starts sticking to your hands, wet your hands with cold water and continue.)

Carefully remove liner and place on a flat surface in the freezer to harden.
